Now there, finally, is someone with a confirmed and ascribable opinion.

Thanks, whoever you are.

Just how sad, exactly, is your life? You have time to track my visits to the Internet? You really don't have anything better to do?

Care to explain your view of what "even a Barbadian" can or cannot do?
